When Zhang Qingzhu heard the name Dong Yixing, her face turned red, as if she already knew who it was.
Leng Shanwen beside him raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Qingzhu next to him teasingly.
It was obvious that they knew something, but Han Siyue was confused and felt that the two were hiding something from her.
"What's with that look on your face? Have you heard of Dong Yixing?
Qing Zhujie, what do you think? You've all seen what's happened to Xiaowen and the others. If your leader introduces you to an officer from the army, would you be able to refuse?
Instead of choosing a man whose appearance, age, and character you don’t know, isn’t it better to find one that suits your taste?
Although I don't know much about Dong Yixing, he is young and promising. He is from the same unit as my husband Lu and the brigade commander Gu next door. We have known each other for more than ten years.
If you are really worried, go meet him at noon and talk about other things later.
Apart from anything else, birds of a feather flock together. My Political Commissar Lu and the Brigadier General Gu next door are both good men who focus on their careers outside and take care of their families at home. I'm sure Dong Yixing won't be any worse."
Han Siyue praised Zhang Qingzhu, and before Zhang Qingzhu could say anything, Leng Shanwen was already excited.
She walked up to Han Siyue, grabbed her hand, and shook it vigorously: "If Qingzhu doesn't want such a good man, I want him. Go back and ask him if he likes me. If he does, we can get the marriage certificate right away.
If Dong Yixing isn't a good fit, is there anyone else? Introduce me to someone who's similar. You're right. It's better to seize the present moment than to not know what kind of person you'll meet in the future."
Zhang Qingzhu never expected that he was almost intercepted before he even expressed his opinion. He was afraid that Han Siyue would really introduce Dong Yixing to someone else, so he was anxious to express his attitude.
"Well, then, we'll go to your house and disturb you at noon."
This means that you agree to meet and see each other.
Leng Shanwen didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She didn't really like Dong Yixing. She just wanted to provoke Zhang Qingzhu so that she wouldn't hesitate and give up the cabbage she had in her hands.
On the other hand, she really wanted Han Siyue to introduce her to a suitable person.
She was a very careful person and had noticed that the leader's attitude had been a little different recently. She couldn't put her finger on what was different, but she could sense that something was amiss.
And as far as she knew, some people in the art troupe were not very clean. If they were found out, it might implicate other people in the troupe.
In fact, it was proved that what she thought was right.
Before they could take a lunch break and visit the family compound, the art troupe's dormitory and rest area welcomed the patrol team from the army, both men and women.
As soon as they arrived, they gathered all the members of the art troupe inside the hall and did not allow anyone to leave.
Not to mention the actors in the art troupe, even the troupe leader Wang Lixin didn't understand what was going on.
When he was called over, he found that everyone in the troupe had been detained. His face looked a little grim, but he softened his tone and asked, "I wonder why the patrol team came to our art troupe? Are they here to conduct an inspection? Or has anyone in our troupe made a mistake? I will definitely criticize them."
This means that they don't want to make a big deal out of it, otherwise if the patrol team comes over to inspect in such a big way, the art troupe will lose all face.
The leading team leader gave no one any face. With a serious face, he said solemnly, "We've received a report that some members of the art troupe are having affairs with men and women. We've received orders from our superiors to search all the belongings of everyone in the troupe. If we find any evidence of private correspondence or private interactions, everyone will be punished and criticized."
This statement did not give the people in the art troupe any face at all.
Without waiting for anyone to react, the patrol team began to search each dormitory with the art troupe members.
When a dormitory is called, the people living there will nervously follow back to the dormitory and identify their own beds and belongings to avoid mixing them up with others.
Taking into account the fact that there were female comrades in the art troupe, the patrol team also went to the health center to borrow several female military doctors, including Wang Yajun and Lin Jianhua.
Because Han Siyue was also a member of the art troupe before, in order to avoid suspicion, she was not invited and was not allowed to get close to the art troupe, for fear that she would spread the news.
Even Han Siyue was called in for a talk by her supervisor, who asked her what she did at the art troupe that morning, who she met, what she said, and how long she stayed there.
Han Siyue was confused throughout the whole process and had no idea what was going on. Of course, her leader would not give her any explanation.
Fortunately, she omitted some details and only said that she hadn't seen a few good friends for a long time, so she came over today to invite them to her home. The food was ready and they could check it at any time.
There was no mention of introducing Dong Yixing and Zhang Qingzhu to each other.
In fact, someone guaranteed that matchmaking was not a big deal. As long as you told the truth, the higher-ups would investigate thoroughly and nothing would happen.
As long as the two of them don't interact too frequently in private, it's not a big deal.
These kinds of things are not reported by the people and not investigated by the officials. Who has the time to keep an eye on other people's private lives? Does a man and a woman talking to each other count as talking about a relationship?
Besides, it’s normal for young people to have feelings for each other and get to know each other.
But we can't leave any evidence that people can use against us.
Han Siyue is now very worried about Zhang Qingzhu and the others. If something really happens, being left on the bench in the troupe would be the least of her problems. She would be transferred to the backstage to do odd jobs, accept other people's cold words, and have to make self-criticisms and be criticized from time to time.
Those with more serious conditions will be directly sent to the farm and will not be allowed to come back in the short term.
